hello everyone, i have uploaded a new competitive mod but without any balance changes for now, i need to play a little bit before i make more changes.
this mod will be deleted soon

What about updates for Watcher?

Dear DreadReapr, it's ok it's back in French. Phew! You saved my game and the future of AOW4, that's super nice of you.

@Maledice i just made a quick update, please check if your language issue is fixed
make sure the mod is updated by unsub then sub again and reload game

Sorry DreadReapr, your update puts my game back in English in my savegame. I'm sad because I like your rational changes in the game. I'm going to ask that Triumph also hire you with Kaige to give the best in future patches.

Great thanks DreadReapr, you are one of my favorite modders along with Kaige for keeping AOW4 going like never before.

Good, i just brought back last 2 updates without some language changes. let me know if you have this issue again

Hi DreadReapr, it's indeed your updates everything is back in order our beloved Game is back in my native language, I was able to continue my game on a scenario.
Be careful next time not to change too many useful things for the saves to be compatible.

ok i think i know why, anyway june 30 and today's updated are reverted because of some issues with magic materials. now it should be ok with language. let me know if it's not

hello DredRepr, sorry I expressed myself badly I wanted to say that since you made the update of June 30 part of my game is translated into English. how can i make it 100% in my original language.

@maledice i dont understand what you mean

No sorry i would like to keep all changes in 1 mod

I love the bug fixes, not a fan of the balance changes though, but I understand this is multiplayer, is there a way to get the bug fixes only? if Not, I understand, and sorry for sounding so ..rude, Dreadreaper.

i didnt consider this issue will happen for ai picking those blank society traits. i will see what i can do about it.
my priority is Multiplayer PVP

I see, I've had to fix several of my factions cause of this, but I digress. I don't like that the AI can now select pantheon traits,

I love all the other bug fixes and stuff but the pantheon stuff really throws me off. Eh, don't worry about my complaints, lol.

it's needed to unlock pantheon skills so no one has faction creation advantage over others in multiplayer.

i am aware of duplicate loadouts which is fine since you can only pick one

and as for the blank society traits at bottom, this is the original pantheon traits which i removed all of its effects and descriptions + made them cost 10 points so no one can pick them.

i have tried to remove them completely but cant figure it out yet

Dreadreaper? I think you really should remove the fact that the mod auto-unlocks the Pantheon traits and stuff.

If you already have them unlocked the normal way, it not only gives duplicates of the pantheon weapons in the loadout screen, but gives several blank society traits in the society trait screen.

oh i see thanks, i never read those descriptions :)

Create a race using guardians of nature, when you go to add your name and stuff, it'll say placeholder where it usually lists the society traits

(Not in society trait selection, finalization.)

@cat-lunatic i am not sure what you mean. i cannot find it

Guardians of Nature has a placeholder text, just letting you know. In the finalization/race description screen

Note that i did not fix Reagent Refinery properly, i accidentally added 20 gold multiplier instead of flat bonus.

so sorry for that, i will fix it in the next Competitive PBEM (July) mod

ok i will take a look at it but i dont update this mod, i always create a new one every month because ongoing games get Mod conflict error if i update

thanks for the mod！

I found a bug that spider webs always cause much more damage than text described(maybe double？），it's seriously affects the balance of pvp。

thanks for suggestion but i dont plan to change how the game works and its mechanics unless i really have to. the mod will be conservative and will not have unecessary addons

Just a suggestion for the summoning, maybe lock some of the summons behind books. Both flavor wise and balance wise for things such as summon undead being locked behind tome of souls which would also make it more viable and really make more sense, elemental summoning behind earth tome or something similiar, maybe those books make it back to its original form. it would be a nice boost to some of those lesser used tomes and not see goody holy halfings randomly summon undead or demons summoning a unicorn.

Yes you can, and soon i will be releasing a Competitive mod for live games as well (auto vs ai). For now this mod changelog works for both live and pbem

hello may i play with the mode without doing multiplayer Pbem because it corrects and balances a lot of interesting stuff ?

Gotcha I'll retract what I said, was a bit confused.

in changelog i wrote it costs mana instead of gold, i didnt mention upkeep. it is the production cost when you build a demon gate

Fixed evasion bugs for heroes

@FerroFibz you are welcome to join the discord linked in mod description to report bugs or suggest balance changes, i might not notice messages here quickly enough

thank you i will see what i can do

I looked at the list of bug fixes, and I think the evasion hero skills such as Defense I-III and Blink affecting melee is also a bug/rule-breaker that needs fixing, alongside full blight damage immunity on the Dread Spider Matriarch, which should be 8 blight res like most of the other fully-grown spiders.

i dont know the settings for the Massive Mod but mine are:
-Very far:
optimal distance between players = 17
additional hex per player = 30
- Extremely Far: 22 / 35

Note that Far = 13 / 26

Thank you. As I understand it, as in the official fashion "Massive Maps and 12 players". But for example, for the same number of players, the size of the map "Extremely Far" will be the same as "Massive"?

in general yes, but i think there's a maximum map size set for each number of players in the game no matter how much player distance is increased.

"distance settings: Very Far - Extremely Far" - does it increase map size?
